Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Stranded, Lost

Six day.

Well, I've been at the bottom of this ravine for almost a week without finding a glimmer of hope to return. Ugh, the fucking luck boomerang effect.

In addition, yes, the way of suicide is not useful because the possibility to be able to respawn above is not too good. In addition, it is possible that this place has been counted as a different area.

"I hope I will soon be able to get out of this area," I muttered hoping as I ate it.

This is a disgrace.

My own food reserves were exhausted by the fourth day no matter how much I tried to save my consumption. Besides, I can't find any animals or monsters roaming this place either.

Yes, I even doubt if this place is habitable because the intensity of the light is too low, even during the day. I alone can survive because Night Vision is at night even I still need lighting help from Sile.

Night Vision just helps me see better, okay? If the light around was really zero, then I would still not be able to see anything.

You know, a creature that has lived with light will suffer from stress when the need for it is not fulfilled, yes. On the contrary, even cave creatures that can live in pitch-black places will experience the same thing when in bright places.

Yes, in some cases it can lead to extreme mental disorders and even death ....

After all, I was able to survive in the midst of that difficulty because of one thing. Bugs.

Well, I mean it's really an insect in real terms, not a system fault, yeah.

It was a flat-shaped insect, it felt quite similar to a cockroach but it was completely flattened despite having a larger winged body with fine feathers like a moth covering its entire body.

I found the insects clustered over the cliff wall, yes, completely covering the entire cliff wall with its crowd. And to be honest, I don't really know what the insects actually eat but thanks to that I was able to survive.

I'm not too disgusted because I once ate grasshoppers in the real world. Or that's the first thing I thought about.

"Hueekk."

I vomited, and it happened many times when I ate it.

You know, I've even processed it first, yeah.

First clean these insects properly. Like cleaning it (of course), removing the inside of the insect and other actions. Then, with the help of fire from Megaera I fry it.

So, I hope it doesn't feel too bad but still ....

"This is the worst taste I've ever tasted" I murmured weakly.

I'm sure of it. Very, very sure.

No matter how much you feel, you will still feel nauseous and vomit because of it. Even the condition of poisoning (medium) continues to appear when I eat it accompanied by several other negative conditions such as hallucinations, paralysis, mute, writing, and bleeding.

It really lives up to the name that this insect has, Death Wish.

One would truly wish for it to be better to die than to have to eat these insects again.

"Fight, Master," said Sile.

"Kraklaraaa ...," quipped Antarea weakly.

We share the same fate as living beings who have tasted the 'great' taste of Death Wish. And I saw that Antarea had shed tears that a spider should not have.

Ah, it must be the effect of the hallucinations, huh. Okay, maybe not. But .. let's fight again, Antarea. I thought as I forced another bite.

Well, at least I got the Title Foul Feeder because of it. Yes, it helps alleviate some of the negative conditions I can suffer from, especially poisons.

But this is really something not to be proud of. Absolutely disgrace.

No. gabe. Keep thinking positive, myself!

Although I now really want to log out and taste a more decent meal than this ....

My heart once again screamed for a moment before ending the eating session that could not be said to be eating. Supposedly a meal session has meaning to enjoy what goes into your mouth, okay?!

All right, I'm starting to step foot back to get out of this place. And yes, so far nothing has happened.

With Antarea guiding the direction, I tried to move as efficiently as possible and not dwell on just one place. Although sometimes it still goes back to a certain point that I've been through.

Moreover, it turned out that Spirit Link was able to connect my vision with one of the parties that had a connection with me. Yes, although limited to a certain distance but this ability is very helpful.

"Antarea, now you can come down" I commanded. Make Antarea go down and sleep in the hood of my robe.

Yes, you have worked hard and now you can rest, Antarea. Moreover, the terrain in front doesn't seem to suit you very much.

"Zilli."

"Yes, Master."

"Can you walk first to watch the area in front?"

Yes, the path in front is really narrow like an ant nest. There are many overlapping walls making the above Antarean observation useless.

So, I guess Zile who can break through those walls — because she's a ghost — is the right figure.

"Yes, I'm going to connect my vision with you so you just need to keep an eye out, there's no need to do something that can attract any creature that might be around" he said.

Even if I haven't met a real monster since the fall, it doesn't mean I can loosen my guard easily, huh.

"Okay, Master," Zile replied as he began to walk, breaking through the wall in front of me with ease.

Meanwhile—

"All right...."

Yes, I myself have to fight to be able to climb this wall. Thankfully not too high.

"I never knew that to move to a city would be this difficult" I murmured.

"This self had never even known before that there was this kind of area in these mountains."

"Yes, what you know is 500 years ago right, Mega."

"No. You're wrong, Sirae, the truth was 381 years ago."

"Stay it's really long, Madam," added Sile, who is now turning to street lighting.

"You who have only been a ghost for six months will not understand."

"Yes, well, anyway my point is that it's still a long time, okay," I said as I descended in a roaring voice.

Following the directions I got through Zile's vision, making my move met with little obstacle. Even the intensity of the light continues to grow and is not as bad as before. Makes my place more comfortable.

So, I'm sure I've been in the right direction to get out, yeah. Until ...

" —?! "

... I saw a beast-kin sitting leaning against a large scythe. Even the size of the sickle is larger than the size of Deira in the shape of a sickle.

"Zile, shut up and just observe him."

I said through Spirit Link. Instructing Zile not to take further action, just be on standby and ...

[Killer Scythe (black)]

... I saw the identity (Title) of that figure.

Well, it's good news that there are other people there. Proving that I'm really closer to a place that has life. Although he was an Evil faction.

And yes, for now I have to—

BOOOM!

The loud explosion hit me immediately, cutting off my mind.
